Tribal Health and Nutrition

This book, which is the outcome of a national seminar in India, examines different issues relating to tribal health and nutrition in India, in specific context of their culture, local ecology, voluntary efforts, and institutional intervention. The broad conclusion of the seminar's papers highlights the pitiable conditions in this regard. Scholars have however suggested ways and means to deal with the inhibiting factors that are responsible for the slow and lopsided process of improvement in health and nutritional status of tribes. The book will be a valuable contribution to the field of tribal health and nutrition.
